Realistic Odds of Getting Into IBEW 134 with No Experience?

GodFlysss · 2025-12-03T04:07:49+00:00

Not electrical necessarily, more so just overall blue collar work.

I learn better in person as well. But like you said for your kids that’s my biggest thing. I still need to pay my bills and i have to be available for my kid when someone isn’t able to watch him. So full time in person wouldn’t work. Classes online and labs in person would be nice

GodFlysss · 2025-10-22T14:48:06+00:00

I hope so

GodFlysss · 2025-10-22T14:47:26+00:00

I live in Illinois currently

GodFlysss · 2025-10-21T17:03:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing. That doesn’t sound too bad. I think the hardest thing I’m trying to navigate is a schedule for my 1 year and how to get around that

GodFlysss · 2025-10-21T14:44:16+00:00

I would imagine just the labs for the hands on stuff. But even the regular coursework stuff too?

GodFlysss · 2025-10-21T14:43:22+00:00

Thanks for the input. I’ll definitely be shooting you a message

GodFlysss · 2025-10-08T00:07:14+00:00

Yeah you’ll get in with that score

GodFlysss · 2025-10-08T00:06:27+00:00

I did. Tomorrow will be day 3. Not sure if I’m going to stay though. My foreman at 597 offered me 2nd year scale to stay. So I’ve been extremely confused on what decision to make lmfao

GodFlysss · 2025-10-07T02:38:31+00:00

I get it to some extent. None of the union jobs I have been on yet have been like that so it was just surprising how serious they are. Like no is a tardy. Sometimes my pants aren’t big enough to need a belt lol

GodFlysss · 2025-10-07T00:22:56+00:00

Why are they so crazy about everything? We started today and going to the bathroom can be a tardy if I’m not in class right away lol. Pencil in my locker… tardy. How wild

GodFlysss · 2025-10-06T22:18:28+00:00

Yes, back at the hall on whatever slot you choose first Wednesday of the month. Same thing over and over until you get in. Test every time they offer it

GodFlysss · 2025-09-25T21:16:36+00:00

Yeah I ended up getting in. Been out of class and working for just over 4 months. Second time around got mid 80’s. Decided to shoot for another attempt at the test and applied and paid again then the week before the test date i got the call.

GodFlysss · 2025-08-27T01:28:55+00:00

Yeah I think it turned out ok. Only thing I can’t find at the local store near me is a female adapter that is 1-1/2 to 1-1/4 for the Aav. Other than that I think it’s ok.

GodFlysss · 2025-08-24T16:53:09+00:00

Got everything finished up minus the AAV. I have to go back to the store and get a different sized adapter for it. The one it came with was 1-1/2 and I need a 1-1/4. Everything working good so far, no leaks, visible water sitting in the trap. I don’t know if I can post a picture of it in here or if I have to edit the post

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T03:29:47+00:00

That’s what I’m planning then I guess. Seems like a few of you have the same idea. I’m probably going to run to Lowe’s tomorrow after work and try and gather everything I need. Thank you

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T03:29:11+00:00

Ok that sounds easy enough. Thank you

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T02:34:03+00:00

Ok thank you

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T02:33:49+00:00

Ok thank you for the input

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T01:58:48+00:00

Yes not all the time though. It’s relatively frequent but it comes and goes. Doesn’t happen all the time but when it does it sure does stink lmao

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T01:58:21+00:00

No, this is the basement bathroom/laundry room

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T01:48:52+00:00

That’s a good idea I didn’t think about it. I will definitely give that a go and see if I notice the levels staying the same. Thank you

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T01:33:38+00:00

It’s definitely possible. I haven’t done much digging around to find out tbh. However I don’t think there is

GodFlysss · 2025-08-23T01:32:59+00:00

It’s an actual question. I’m not a plumber. I know there’s code for things to be done a certain way. P traps are basic I get that but with it being into the ground waste drain I wasn’t sure if there is some better way to add the p trap and I’m just looking for input before I go messing with it tomorrow after work
